Kaikoura

Arrival findings

1. Harold (Henry/Harry) Stamers Dibley — Kaikoura 1895 to Wellington

   Resolves the previously unconfirmed Wellington 1890s English cluster entry for Harold/Henry Dibley. KEY METHODOLOGICAL NOTE: This was found by Rainer with a bare Google name search after I had repeatedly searched for 'Harold Dibley' (the GEDCOM's primary recorded form) and missed him under 'Hy Dibley'. The lesson — when GEDCOM records alternate names in Ancestry's '(alt\alt)' notation, ALL variants must be searched. Henry Stamers Dibley is how Rainer always called him; my code was reading only the .first token (compounded with the 'Harold (Henry\Harry)' inline notation) and lost both 'Henry' and 'Harry'. Mrs R Dibley = his wife Roxane Buels travelling with him; her ark URL TBD — log as candidate roxane-buels-kaikoura-1895-same-voyage until captured.

2. Roxane Buels (Mrs R Dibley / Mme Eveleen Carlton) — Kaikoura 1895 to Wellington

   Joint-arrival finding with co_subject Henry/Harold (@I200240037080@). Single FamilySearch ark covers both; record format is the spouse-paired entry typical of 1890s NZSCo manifests. The 1895-Kaikoura → 1896-Hinemoa → 1901-royal-concert → 1902-Aro-Street property trajectory now hangs together as one biographical arc.
